Spread out the rating games

Hey I have noticed that the games that are higher when you sort by popular have like 33 ratings, which is great for those games but some games don't have any.  So try to spread out what you are rating a bit more. 

Try not to just sort by popular, yes  the games in popular totally deserve the ratings, but other games deserve the ratings too, so try to sort by random or karma or the ones with the least ratings so that everyone gets their game rated, instead of just some games getting tons of ratings.

I think thats why the default filter is random. Unless you intend to boost the highest game, you will not only see the highest review first

Exactly, but the most popular games still have tons more ratings than the less  popular games.


once again no disrespect to the popular games they are amazing.

If more popular games have way more rating than the less popular, may be thats the point of rating. It means that less popular games are not appeal enough. Not everyone win in any contests

No, if the game is bad you give it a bad rating but still give it a rating. I have seen a lot of really fun games with a small amount of ratings, If you just rate the popular games you miss a bunch of fun ones, part of the reason some games are far down on the popular scale is because they were released later than others so not as many people saw them before the game jam started.

I recommend sorting by "least rated", that is where you tend to find the gems of the jam

Totally agree.

Exactly

or karma because those are the people who have rated other peoples games the most
